20 lb or 30 lb in most brands will be fine i have yet to find a modern braid that wont do the job for bait fishing ,even a cheap one will do ,use a shock leader to cut down on wear on your braid and to keep your fingers attached to your hand :wink:

On my fixed spool reel that I use for beach fishing I use power pro 30lb & a 50lb shock leader. Just make sure your reel has good line lay.
